Surgery

In Ayurveda, the primary focus is on natural healing and non-invasive treatment methods. However, Ayurveda does mention surgical procedures as a means of intervention in certain cases where conservative measures may not be sufficient or appropriate. Surgical interventions in Ayurveda are known as “Shalya Tantra” or “Shastrakarma.”

Here are some key points regarding surgery in Ayurveda:

1. Historical Significance: Ayurvedic texts, such as the Sushruta Samhita, provide detailed descriptions of various surgical techniques and procedures. Sushruta, often referred to as the father of surgery, documented principles and methods of surgery in ancient times which are truly beneficial in present era.
2. Indications: Ayurvedic surgery is typically considered for specific conditions that are difficult to manage or require immediate intervention. This may include conditions such as tumors, abscesses, piles, fistulas, fractures, cataracts, and certain obstetric and gynecological disorders.
3. Approach: Ayurvedic surgical procedures emphasize a holistic approach to healing. They consider factors such as the patient’s constitution, stage of the disease, and the use of supportive therapies to promote postoperative recovery and overall well-being.
4. Techniques: Ayurvedic surgery involves various techniques, including excision (removal of diseased tissue), incision (surgical cuts), suturing (stitching), probing (exploration), and drainage procedures. The use of herbal formulations, specialized instruments, and specific guidelines for pre- and postoperative care is also part of Ayurvedic surgical practices.
5. Anesthesia: Ayurveda describes the use of anesthesia during surgical procedures. Herbal and mineral- based formulations were traditionally used for this purpose. However, it’s important to note that modern surgical practices generally rely on conventional anesthesia techniques to ensure patient safety and comfort.
6. Training and Expertise: Ayurvedic surgeons, known as “Shalya Tantra specialists,” undergo extensive training to acquire knowledge and skills related to surgical interventions. They are well-versed in the principles of Ayurveda, anatomy, surgical techniques, and postoperative care.
